Many years ago, I used to love watching the Acapulco Cliff Divers on Wide World of Sports. Those people had some big brass ones.

If this movie makes people who'll see people jumping off a cliff in a movie and then jump off a cliff jump off a cliff, then it's more than entertainment. It's a sociological enema.

Anyone who jumps off a cliff because they saw someone in a movie jump off a cliff should probably just,you know, jump off a cliff.

Oh come on. The cliff diving episode(s) was one of the best Cheap Seats.

/Wants the movie to be released already so it can run its course and I can get that damn song out of my head.

exactly who is the target demograph for this movie? I want to say trannies, but even they have standards.

Ain't the Coast Guard supposed to be in Iraq?

/Well, the National Guard is there,so....
//Protect American soil.
///I think I'll go jump off my roof in to the pool. Saw it on TV, so it must be safe.

Not really sure. I like musicals and I don't even want to see it...

/straight, just like musicals, that's all
//really...

Just watching the trailers for this piece of trash made me want to jump off a cliff, and not for the thrill. Why do we let Hollywood crank out this filth?

I always thought they'd prefer automatics.

Probably the same 40 something women the play has made millions off of for the last 9 years.

Anybody who would jump off a cliff because they were encouraged to do so by a movie is an idiot. Better if they do jump, they are too stupid to be alive anyway.
I will never see this movie, if my girlfriend wants to see it, I won't go. Even if she promised to get a cheerleader uniform. As hot as she'd look in it, ABBA isn't worth it. Rather have root canal.

Wait, wasn't that the whole idea? To get expendable people to jump off cliffs?

I thought movies were intended to model foolish behaviors to encourage people to imitate them, and that any entertainment value was purely coincidental.

You'd think that. But I'm still F5ing Youtube for some failed "Curved Bullet" videos.

F you, I saw the musical and I liked it. Well the 2nd act, the 1st one was haphazard and didn't feature good duets.

They'd get some if people jumped in the water and got rescued.

Nice. I approve, sir.

It'll never happen, but I'd love to see this film beat The Dark Knight on opening weekend - the outcry of fanboys everywhere would bring down the internets.

Tombstoning? Isn't that when goth kids get stoned in cemetaries?
